General Sherman Reviewing his Army
On December 23, 1864, the Union Army under the command of General William T. Sherman captured and occupied Savannah, Georgia. Civil War artist William Waud sketched Sherman reviewing his army in Savannah before moving on to his next campaigns in South and North Carolina. Sherman’s review took place on Bay Street in front of the Customs House. The mounted officers directly behind Sherman are identified by Waud as Generals Alpheus S. Williams, John A. Logan, Henry W. Slocum, John W. Geary, Charles R. Woods, and John E. Smith.
